I think we should realistically look at a Plan B. If worse comes to worst, are we ready with a Plan B?
Impeachment of a Supreme Court justice. If we get either house back in November, let the investigations begin! If we get either house back, WE get subpoena power. Then we can drag Mark Judge's ass in to testify, whether he wants to or not. Same thing with Kavanaugh. What are the penalties for defying a Congressional subpoena? Hmmmm... let's explore...
We need an army of Michael Avenattis. I know it's superficial as hell but we need people with a fast turn of phrase in the verbal combat department - which unfortunately is the way the bad guys have decided the game is played now. We need some mean, nasty, swaggering, snarling, hit-below-the-belt street fighters. Attack dogs. We need our own Newt Gingriches and other "back-bench bomb-throwers" who figuratively speaking take no prisoners. Regretfully, I think WE need some weasels. We need our own versions of Trey Gowdy and even, I almost hate to say it but, Devin Nunes. Shrewd, manipulative, calculating, even vindictive. Being nice is yesterday. I wish that weren't true. I wish TO DEAREST GOD this weren't true. I wish this weren't how it is. But in politics, that's EXACTLY what AND how it is. The other side will NOT play fair or follow rules or stop sneaking around behind, over, and under to get their way and their agenda through. The other side will not stop trying to screw, savage, and sabotage. We're dealing with a crowd of latter-day bomb-throwing Machiavellis. The gunfight-and-napalm crowd - whom we're so accustomed to "fighting" with powder puffs, butter knives, and feather dusters. And as long as we keep playing fair and they don't, and as long as we don't play mean and nasty and they do, we're gonna get rolled every time. EVERY. DAMN. TIME.
A friend of mine, who sank down into the Dark Side years ago, recently commented in shock and bewilderment, with dander up, and a whiff of condescension, "you're SO ANGRY!" Yeah? What's it to ya, pal? You bet your damn bippy I'm angry! How can you see what's going on now and NOT be angry - angry as ALL HOLY HELL????????
